Claimed off Waivers: Colorado claims Dano off waivers from Winnipeg

[Jacob]

He has yet to produce at any level so I doubt it'll happen in the NHL.

Nice depth pickup for the Avs. Think Dano should do well with them.

 

[Jarey Curry]

He's not that good.

Bednar and Sakic think hes good

 

[uncleben]

For those interested, this cost Colorado $41,250, paid to Winnipeg and not counted against the cap.

I remember him from that first stint with Columbus making some high end plays great stats .

he turns 24 next month ....if he is gonna stick that Colorado lineup is one of the best to do it on .......

reminds me a bit of Tuevo Terravainen ....it's possible he has the tools, the only thing I see lacking is opportunity and confidence .

Kerby Rychel Marko Dano is a half point PPG in the AHL who keeps getting chances because he was a first round pick that garned a bit of buzz for being the "prospect" in some high profile deals.

He'll be back on waivers in no time.

Rychel is actually having a nice start this season in the AHL.... 1.5 PPG... small sample set of course... 4 games.

So Winnipeg lost Dano and Armia for next to nothing ?

That happens to teams with talent that goes deep into their lineup. Good player but nowhere to play him.

 

[Dr Awesome]

Good pick up. Was wondering if oilers would put claim in and roll the dice.

Armia was a cap dump victim. Dano we lost for absolutely nothing. And we have Brendan Lemieux sitting in our PB who is waiver eligible as well.

Secrete recipe for the press box popcorn seasoning maybe. ITS OURS

Noo. No one secrete anythin' for the popcorn seasonin'. Is good. All artificial.

1.84 P/60 min played in 130 NHL games. He's one of the NHL's "misfit toys", his skating stride looks funny so coaches think he "looks bad" when he plays so they don't give him a chance. When he plays he always gets to the right spots at the right time and usually puts up points. Even with his game stagnating due to all the time in the press box I think that if he gets a chance to play regularly he makes some people look bad for overlooking him.

I would way way rather have Dano than the locker room cancer in waiting that is Lemieux.

 

[jetsforever]

he was underused with the Jets, I still think he can be a good player

 

[780il]

Good pick up, wanted Chia to put in a claim.

(He really cant do anything right)

 

[Meeqs]

Sounds and looks like an upgrade on Gabriel Bourque.

That spot will depend on how he is defensively and on the PK. If he can match up and provide more 5v5 than its his (or Kams)

Do you mind explaining further? What is this money for exactly?

I'm guessing that was Chevy's personal rate to help him pack and drive him to the airport.

Good teams lose depth players to waivers. Just the cost of doing business, nothing out of the ordinary.

 

[ThatGuy22]

It's the cost for making a waiver claim. It's spelled out in the CBA( 13.16) and varies based on position and experience . It ranges from 4k for a player with 9 + years of experience to 90k for a goalie with under 2 years of experience.

Honestly not sure why they bother with the cash as it's a relative pittance in the grand scheme of NHL contracts.

 

[AvsGuy]

Sounds like Andrighetto 2.0 if we’re lucky

how do you conclude the bolded?

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

Because owners like Melnyk count every penny and feel aggrieved when someone gets a waiver claim player for "free" after all the time spent signing them.

Was too busy trying to see if Brendan Lemieux would get waived. ooo baby.

Sure they lost a player, but Avs do have to pay the Jets $41,000 dollars and some change by claiming him.
